Capability Summary	In Smart Forms, you can open the form module, configure the User Name field, preview the result, and save the form.	Microsoft Forms supports online form creation and can record or not record respondent names through form settings.	Google Forms supports adding questions, marking them as required, previewing the form, and collecting email addresses.	Notion Forms automatically creates a Respondent property to capture names and can also allow anonymous responses.	Adobe supports online web forms and PDF form workflows with configurable form fields.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The name field is part of the form editing flow, so field setup, preview, and saving stay in one workflow.	Compared with WPS: Name collection is centered more on response identity settings than on a dedicated name-field editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Name collection is usually built with general question fields instead of a dedicated name field.	Compared with WPS: Respondent capture is built in, but form creation and customization are limited to desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is stronger for e-sign and PDF or web-form workflows, while WPS stays closer to a form-field editing flow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS keeps the User Name field close to the form editing workflow, which is practical when you want to configure and review the field before publishing. If your work focuses more on response identity settings, database-backed form responses, or e-sign and PDF form workflows, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
